Motovated > About Us ABOUT US
There are many good computer aided design firms, some good engineering firms, and even a couple of good analysis firms. But the real value comes when the three disciplines are combined. Motovated’s Virtual Prototyping can be of huge benefit to manufacturers, designers and inventors; visually illustrating exactly how the machine or part will behave, and where long or short term failures might occur. And trust us, this isn’t always intuitively obvious!
After graduating from Canterbury University with a BE Mech (Hons) degree, Darrell helped design automated production lines for Scott Technology. He then spent 3½ years as a design engineer for Tranz Rail, working on locomotives, wagons, containers and other Tranz Rail assets prior to their buyout by Toll NZ. Darrell’s qualifications and post graduate experience is backed by substantial hands on practical experience in welding, assembly, painting, and other general manufacturing processes. These skills, plus his excellent past performance in Project Management, ensure Darrell is well positioned to "Engineer Your Vision"! OUR VISIONMotovated’s Vision is to harness the synergy between design and analysis; to provide clients with better products, quicker time to market, with significantly reduced risk. One of the key ways to achieve this is to bring service providers in-house where necessary, and off-load where possible. Some of the advantages of off-loading are the elimination of distractions, and the ability to utilise firms focussed on best practice implementation of specialist technologies. Motovated specialises in Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) technologies, and has implemented best practice use of all of our technologies, included 3D (associative) CAD, MathCAD and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) solutions. Effective implementations these tools require rigour and training to get the best results. |
